Shannon has run many marathons and keeps track of all her finishing times. At a race last month, she finished in 190 minutes. At her next race, she finished with a time that was 20% shorter. What was her finishing time at the most recent race?

152. If you take 190(0.2) you get 38. Then subtract 38 from 190 and get 152
